TAKE ACTION FOR FOOD ACCESS: Students of all ages and our neighbors facing food insecurity deserve access to fresh, local food. When USDA terminated the LFPA and LFS programs, it cancelled valuable contracts for farmers and made it more difficult for food banks and schools to get the food our communities need. Use the link in our bio to tell your member of Congress to support permanent funding for these programs and invest in healthy food for all.

April 25th - Celebrate and Protect Federal Workers
This week marks President Trump’s 100th day in office. This period has been marked by chaos, uncertainty, fear, and the loss of critical support for farmers and ranchers nationwide. Farmers are owed money for investments they've already made in their farms. Training and technical assistance have stalled or been canceled. Contracts and programs producers were looking to for the growing season have been halted. Producers are planning for the 2025 growing season and need certainty for the year, yet USDA and the Trump administration are doing the opposite, spreading chaos and uncertainty across our food system.
To showcase the impact these actions are having on producers, National Young Farmers Coalition is hosting a congressional briefing “How USDA Funding Freeze and other Executive Actions are Impacting Young Farmers”. You’ll hear from farmers from Iowa, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania who have had canceled contracts and stalled payments. They will discuss how the USDA grant freeze has affected farm operations, conservation projects, land access, and local food systems across the country.
